Autumn Purple Ash

Fraxinus americana

Autumn Purple Ash is a selected form of the American Ash tree, grown for its special and magnificent rich purple and mahogany fall coloring. It develops into a large tree 60 feet tall and 40 feet wide that can also be trimmed to maintain a smaller size. It grows around 2 feet a year and quickly matures into a screen or weather-break or as a single specimen shade tree. Unlike common ash it does not produce seeds, so it is a clean tree that does not drop seeds and flowers all summer. It will grow in a wide variety of soils, needing just some water when young and is a trouble-free tree for almost any location.
